Why would you need to reset your WordPress password manually?

Well, that might seem a strange question to you but this happens when you register your WordPress admin account during the installation of  Wordpress using a fake email id. Or you might have lost your email id’s password along with WordPress password. Well, the possibilities do exist. Let me tell you why I needed to reset my WordPress Admin password manually. When you setup WordPress on your laptop or mac by installing a server software such as Xampp or Wampp. When you install WordPress in the htdocs directory you are required to enter a valid email id, in this case no matter what email id you put it, WordPress engine cannot send a mail to your actual email id because you laptop is actually not a server.

You can also use this in case you lost your super admin password which I described in the previous post.

Anyways, for whatever reason you might require to reset your password manually it is actually a few seconds process, so you might not even considering going to your mail box and then resetting your password. The trick here is pretty simple

WordPress uses AES_ENCRYPT function to encrypt and save your passwords in the prefix_users (wp_users) table in the database in which WordPress is installed. The trick is simple just go to the above table in the database and check your user id and username and reset the password field.

say

reset the password field to this  $P$BPC.t7e/Hh2ccH55jlbbDbIw.AS3yP0

this is actually AES encryption of ripul ,so whenever you reset your password field with above code you can simply type in the password as ripul and login to your wordpress . In case you are finding it difficult to do, leave a comment below.
